Please remember to vote on the pay offer.

At a loss as to why the views I set out in my letter are remotely controversial in Labour mov.t circles. 🤷‍♂️
Natalie Elphicke remains a right wing, anti-union politician

Natalie Elphicke’s anti-strike stance ‘incompatible’ with Labour, says TUC president theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Labour should have made Natalie Elphicke go and live on the Bibby Stockholm while they procesed her application.

Great pics from Firefighters Memorial Day.

The FBU is aware that pro-Palestine protesters are holding further demonstrations in Leicester.

Previously, firefighters have been asked to assist the police in removing protestors.

The FBU advises all members not to be involved in law enforcement activities.

FBU members - whatever your views or conclusions on the offer - please remember to vote in our pay ballot.

It’s your pay. It’s your union. It’s your profession.

Have your say.

Public services - including fire and rescue - need urgent and long term investment.

On May 18th, I will be speaking at Levellers Day in Burford.

I will be in a debate called 'Democracy under Threat' with Matt Wrack, Gawain Little & Tabusam Ahmed from Unite.

‘We know Labour will come under pressure from business interests but there should be no backtracking and no weakening. Labour needs to deliver this as one of its top priorities. If there is a rolling back there will be significant anger.’

Bernard Hill as Yosser Hughes was one of the iconic acting performances of the decade, capturing the anger of whole communities.

Well done all involved.

Something a little different from yesterday’s firefighter Memorial Day,

Firefighting is a carcinogenic occupation. The science knows it, the UN knows it - it’s about time the politicians & fire chiefs responsible for UKFRS took action to protect their workforce from occupational cancers.

They want to save money.
We want to save lives.

‘Scientific reports commissioned by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) ⁦Fire Brigades Union⁩ found that instances of cancer among firefighters aged 35 to 39 are up to 323 per cent higher than in the general population in the same age category.’ morningstaronline.co.uk/article/our-tr…

Unions must make workers’ rights a central issue as election approaches. Pledges made must be delivered promptly by incoming Labour government. Me - interview for the Guardian

Scaling back workers’ rights plan would be disastrous, warns TUC president theguardian.com/politics/artic…
